<v:date_selection>

Renders a set of date links that represent the date range associated
with a set of entries. This is commonly used to build archive sections
for blogs that show posts by year, month, or day. The CSS class for the
currently selected date range is set to current.

You may nest a <v:divider> tag inside this tag to
specify a divider that is shown after each date link or after a certain
number of date links. Dividers can also wrap the each dater link.

Required Attributes

path - path of the data to use to obtain the date range. If you
set this to point to a collection of blog posts, only days, months,
or years that have actual posts will be rendered.

date_field - name of the Date structure within each entry pointed
to by path.

Optional Attributes

href - page to link to. Defaults to the current page.

param - URL parameter to contain the date value. Defaults to
date.

strftime - provide a strftime format
string in this attribute and it will
be used to format the date displayed in the link as well as set the
granularity of the date ranges. If you display a day value, links
will be generated for each day there is an entry. If you display
only a month and year, links will be generated for each month where
there is an entry. If you display only a year, links will be
generated for each year. In addition to the standard format
parameters, Vae also supports a custom %N format string that
includes the count of matching entries for this date range. Defaults
to %B %Y which renders a link for each month in the format
January 2009.
